Did you save seeds? I would really like to grow it here in southeastern Germany and Austria. We might change seeds then, since Iôve breeded some very interesting Cucurbita varieties for British climate too. If youôd like, please write to: ludwig.ammer@gmail.com

Thank you all for your help. Raybo I'll go out and get your prescription today. Of course, they're all worse this week, another plant is 1/2 yellow now, not sure what the heck is going on :::sigh::: Each one seems to have different symptoms. I posted my stats on Part 1, but think it got pulled down... I'm in San Diego Zone 10... unusually cool, yet humid summer. Guess I chose the wrong year to get excited about growing tomatoes! Of course it's hot this weekend so am guessing I'll have another set of issues next week! Hope y'all are having a better harvest than I!!

Would anyone be willing to share a PDF of the plans for the Calabash Cottage? I've designed a house based off of the Calabash Cottage but it really has little to no similarities on the interior. A set of plans to go over with my architect would be hugely beneficial to make sure I get the exterior proportions right. Thanks to anyone in advance! This thread has been extremely helpful!

Juan Np, I asked since Sempervivums do not care for too much heat and too much humidity (few other succulents don't). They will grow, but in your hot climate, I would make sure they are not in the hottest sun (usually around noon). Otherwise, they like good light. I have many, but I am in colder zone - my semps grow very well in full sun. They should not be so 'tall' - that seems to be etiolation, maybe it was kept in quite dark spot in the store. It is ok in ground or container. Just make sure there is no water pooling too much around - but you likely know that since you grow other succulents. In ground, I like to plant them on a mound, so they drain. They will grow in very little soil, you'll find them growing over the rocks. They should not have recurving leaves, better light and less water will help. Here is different looking one, Sempervivum 'Oddity' I just got this spring, growing in the container: Here is semp with similar leaves to yours; you can see it is very low to ground and has e number of 'chicks'. The leaves/rosette should not be curving down: They are also monocarpic plants - ones the rosette blooms, it dies. In the meantime, it should produce many offsets (that's why the common name Hens&chicks), that can be left as they grow or separated and planted elsewhere. Hope I am not telling you what you already know :) Your Crassula ovata and portulacaria look very nice, growing them outdoors in good sun makes a difference.
